Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth.

Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly important for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth.
